Pilot Program for 100% Plant-Based Meals and Non-Dairy Milk in Schools.
This act establishes a pilot program providing $10 million in grants to schools, primarily those serving low-income students, to offer 100% plant-based breakfast and lunch options. It also creates a separate grant program to reimburse schools for the full cost of providing non-dairy milk substitutes. The goal is to ensure students have access to diverse and accommodating dietary choices, including those based on medical needs or moral convictions.
